180509 |  | The
UK Government has clarified its approach to the implementation of its obligations
under the EU Roadworthiness Testing Directive and how it will affect the UK MOT
test as it applies to historic vehicles, and specifically Vehicles of Historic
Interest (VHI). The new regime for exemptions from the requirement to take the
MOT test comes into force on 20th May 2018. This exemption is available
to any vehicle which qualifies as a VHI: essentially it was manufactured or registered
for the first time at least 40 years previously, is of a type no longer in production,
has been historically preserved or maintained in its original state and has not
undergone substantial changes in the technical characteristics of its main components
in the last 30 years. The responsibility of declaring a vehicle is a VHI will
rest entirely with the keeper of the vehicle. | Our
information note with an update on "substantial
change guidance, VHI status and MOT exemption declarations" was released
on the V8 Website on 3rd April 2018. As a self declaration of an Historic vehicle
(the road tax class on the V5C providing eligibility for VED exemption) as an
MOT exempt vehicle is available from 20th May 2018 and can only
be made when a car is retaxed, that could result in a vehicle keeper waiting 12
months or more. In our recent update
note we mentioned that one way of bringing forward the matter is to SORN the car
for a short period and then retax it and on retaxing it the self declaration as
a VED exempt vehicle could be made.
DVLA Form V112 is the form
used the make the declaration a vehicle is exempt from MOT. It has to be submitted
when the car is retaxed. For a VED exempt car shown as "Historic" on
the V5C the car is "retaxed" but at the NIL value VED rate. We understand
the Form V112 is being updated to include the MOT exemption declaration for vehicles
40 years old and more but when we last checked it has not been made available
on the GOV.UK website. Presumably it will be released by 20th May 2018. Link
